Abstract (en)

A device for lifting and tilting a vehicle from a standing position directly on a floor or ground surface to a tilted position on one side of the vehicle. The device includes at least two bearer members (174) which include an arcuate support base (180) with an abutment surface for contacting the floor during tilting rotation along a substantially vertical plane. A mounting plate (234) is configured for direct attachment to extending lug bolts (230) from a wheel-mounted hub (227). Coupling jaws (184) are provided for rigid, detachable mounting of the bearer members (174) to the mounting plate. An elongated, interconnecting, rigid support structure (47) is secured to each respective bearer member (174) to form a single, rigid cradle support for one side of the vehicle. A tilting system is coupled to the cradle support and includes a tying member (45) which joins the tilting system to the cradle support. The tilting system includes a lifting member (37), a base support member (21), and a hoist member (85). These are interconnected in such a way that the lifting member is rotationally coupled at one end of the base member, permitting the remaining end to be raised to a tilted configuration in response to lifting forces applied by the hoist member (85). This system enables a single person to tilt a heavy vehicle onto its side, removing the tilting system to leave the vehicle in a stable tilted position.
